I was looking up the MSDS of Lucas UCL because i got some free. I noticed that is all just Distillates, petroleum, hydrotreated heavy paraffinic oils ,which is just a Synonym for mineral oil.
I found this chart that explains about how much cheap mineral oil we have in many house hold products.
I think i will just stop using any additives .
Its just a waste of money.

Here is the bottom 7 products listed: (cut & pasted-Ha-Ha)

Thompsons WaterSeal Waterproofer Plus Clear Wood Protector 1180 Landscape/Yard liquid 19
40:1 Poulan 2 Cycle Engine Oil with Stabilizer Landscape/Yard liquid 70-80
Neutrogena Sunblock SPF 30-PABA Free Personal Care paste
Revlon Professional Liquid Quick Dry Nail Enamel Personal Care liquid
Aussie Instant Daily Conditioner-Old Product Personal Care liquid
Sure Roll On Deodorant-Old Product Personal Care liquid
Farnam Wipe, Original Formula Fly Protectant-04/28/2017 Pet Care liquid 37.24

1) wood sealer
1) 2 cycle oil
1) sunblock
1) nail polish
1) hair conditioner
1) deodorant
1) insect repellant

There are probably MANY examples in each of these 7 product categories alone. The list could be 150 times longer.

Ergo, this list is ridiculously spotty.

That's not to say it's completely useless or uninspiring. EX: I always thought the drying element in deodorants was alcohol.

Isn't it TL;DNR to emphasize the NOT?
Also applies for me here...

TTFN
 
I like Lucas products and seafoam as well i am a hobbiest who enjoys small engine repair and notice a difference in a good way with certain products which I am sure are all so very different than baby oil as you claim.
Thanks

Today's date is Aug 1st, not Apr 1st. Surely people understand what has been "discovered" is the the carrier oil. And...not everything is disclosed in the MSDS.
